Holland Tax FAQs

?When is the tax year?

The tax year in Holland runs from January 1st until December 31st.

?How much money will I get back?

On average our customers get an average tax refund of €850, but ultimately the amount you get back will depend on your individual circumstances such as your living arrangements, marital status and whether or not you’re entitled to any tax deductions.

?My refund seems to be taking a long time – where’s my tax refund?

?What documents will I need to file my tax return?

You will need:

Your Jaaropgaaf or Statement of Earnings

Your completed tax pack

A copy of your ID/Passport

As of 2015 if you live in an EU country, Liechtenstein, Bonaire, Sint Eustatius or Saba, Norway, Iceland, Switzerland and you pay tax in the Netherlands on at least 90% of your worldwide income, you will also need to submit personal income statement from the tax authorities in your country of residence

?What is a Jaaropgaaf?

The Jaaropgaaf is the official government form you get from your employer at the end of the tax year which outlines your earnings and the amount of taxes you paid that year. You should receive it by the end of February in the year following the tax year you worked in. If you don't have one it's no problem – we can contact your employer to organise a statement of earnings.

?What if I’ve lost my documents or I never got them in the first place?

Don’t worry – if you don’t have your documents just emailing your account manager to let them know and for a small additional fee we can find them or organise replacements for you.

?Can I claim my Holland refund myself?

You could, but often the process is much more complicated than people realise. preparing and filing your tax refund yourself will involved gathering all the documentation yourself, making sure it complies to tax codes and sending them in to the tax office, who won’t update you on your case until they tell you whether or not you’re due a refund. By using Taxback.com you are avoiding all this extra stress and work and making sure that you get not only the maximum tax refund, but that your tax return is fully compliant with Dutch tax law.

?Can you guarantee I’ll get the refund amount you estimated for me?

Unfortunately we can’t – but the refund estimation we give you is based upon the average refund we’ve gotten for thousands of customers over the past 17 years, so it’s a pretty good estimation of what you’ll get.

Note:

As of 2015, you will only be entitled to deductible items, tax credits and the tax-free allowance only if you meet all 3 of the following criteria:

You live in an EU country, Liechtenstein, Bonaire, Sint Eustatius or Saba, Norway, Iceland, Switzerland.

You pay tax in the Netherlands on at least 90% of your worldwide income.

You should be able to submit personal income statement from the tax authorities in your country of residence.

If your answer is no to any of the above, you will most probably be not due a refund as of 2015, however, we can still assist you in all other tax countries.
